Title: Still shakin' my head over this one...
Post by cynjeep89 on Mar 3rd, 2007, 10:59pm
I went to the store today to pick up some boring stuff like storage bins, trash bags, (yada, yada, yada) and when I was walking down the aisle of household cleaning items like buckets, brooms, etc, something caught my eye.

I looked up and noticed a tag hanging from a broom.  I started reading it and there on the tag were instructions on how to use the broom.  Sheesh!!! [smiley=huh.gif]

 Yep, Cyn....  It's called the


    "dummying down of America"  I am so very glad I recieved my education before I needed to be told these things.  I feel so very smart now.  ::)

Wait until the cash you used to pay for your broom has instructions on how to spend it.

You think I'm kidding.

I didn't buy a broom and even if I had needed one, I wouldn't have bought that one for sure!

I'm figuring that half the people who buy this broom will return it because it has the bristles on the wrong end.

Why I'm not surpriced... ;)

Back here you would have been able to buy your broom without instructions.

I was about to say exactly what Jonny did - when you get people suing because their coffee is hot what can you expect?! Reminds me of seeing a packet of peanuts on the plane to Chicago - it had  little notice on it saying "may contain nuts" WTF?!  ::)

Reminds me of a cardboard box I saw outside a laundomat a few years back.  It had oblong holes on two oposite sides with printing stateing...

Handles are made from paper product may cause paper cuts and should be used at the users own risk.  

I didn't know paper could cause paper cuts....sheesh I think I'll sue.  ::)

LMAO!  Or it may not... if not I'm suing for breach of contract.  It's better to laugh at the idiots than not:)

Have you seen the new Jeff Foxworth game show? I think it's on Thursday nights. Called "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?"

I would be ashamed if I was as dumb as those contestants.

The purveyors of this remarkable technology are making a leap of faith assuming that the customer is able to read.

Excuse me everyone, I'm just off to buy a broom and then sue the arse off the makers of it for not catering to my illiteracy - and sadly it could happen  :-/
Its time this sue happy crap got stopped - never mind passing laws about how people can or can't go bankrupt - how about laws preventing this wholescale greed and idiocy stating if you are too stupid to work out coffee is hot etc then you shouldn't be allowed out alone? It has to stop somewhere before we get to the point where people are afraid to even talk to each other.  ::)
